No matter how much you love your job, sometimes it’s good to take a short break. And spending some time with the family is always a good idea. Here’s the view from the back yard of our Airbnb rental:

I’m happy to announce that the recording of the audiobook for Simon Sees has been completed and approved! And, yes, for those wondering, this is what that cryptic clue in that earlier post was all about. Fun?!...

Anyway, here’s the cover:

Simon Sees is the follow-up to the novel Simple Simon, which became the movie Mercury Rising starring Bruce Willis. Don’t worry if you haven’t read/seen that one, you can start right here and still enjoy it! That said, I’d highly recommend you check it out (along with all of Ryne’s books). He’s an amazing author.

A quote from the review: 

“This is a great series in audio and it’s my favorite way to enjoy the THIRDS. Mark Westfield knows these guys so well, he keeps each character unique and brings a special intimacy to their relationships. I love how he infuses them with so much personality and brings them to life. I swear each book is better than the last, between the special effects and the way the story builds, it’s a wild ride!”

A few posts ago (in the one with the microphone picture) I mentioned that I’m hard at work on a new audiobook. I promise that all of the details are coming soon - including the cover reveal. For now, though, here’s a super-cryptic clue...

If any of you can figure out what book it is from this clue, I’ll not only be incredibly impressed, but I promise that you will get one of the free copies (hint, hint about free copies being available soon!). Heck, if you actually see through this craziness, I’ll also post about your brilliance in the blog.

So, in the last post I promised more information on FrostBITTEN. And here it is...

I love well done horror, but it’s pretty rare. And, I’d say, even harder to find in the zombie genre. Characters go under-developed (if developed at all), and the story is often nothing more than bites and fights. (If I’m actually the first to coin that term, my life is now complete!)

The “One Nation Under Zombies” series, of which FrostBITTEN is actually Book 2, truly bucks those trends. Characters you’ll care about and get to see grow. Well thought out plot lines. Everything you could want from a well-done horror series. I’ve had a blast narrating them both, and I think some of you might enjoy listening to them.

So, anyone interested in a free copy of Book 1 (Mail Horror Bride)?

More info soon...

The awesome people at KEBB have posted a really nice review of the audiobook for Gummy Bears & Grenades by Charlie Cochet. 

It was really fun to narrate and I’m honored that the review contains such nice comments as:

“Gummy Bears & Grenades is three and a half hours of hilarious! Mark Westfield is at his all time funniest narrating this one, and it was a pleasure to just laugh the whole way through. All the players make an appearance and lay some groundwork for future episodes in the THIRDS series.“

At work on a new audiobook. It's an amazing novel and I'm really excited to get to narrate it. More news on this one soon.

Hmm - usually someone else (with actual writing talent) crafts an amazing story, and I just read the words into a microphone. Not a bad life at all. I’m incredibly lucky and thankful to have been able to narrate nearly 100 audiobooks to date and hope to continue this amazing path for years to come.

I’ve been asked by some awesome listeners about my social media presence, to which I have answered something along the lines of “I like talking into a microphone!” They were not as impressed as I expected them to be. Time to change that.
